Custom Coins FAQs

Product Details

What materials and platings are available?

Our coins are solid brass — the preferred metal for premium coins because of its weight, durability, and ability to hold crisp detail. (Zinc alloy is only used for rare spinner-style coins, as it’s better suited for moving parts.)

Plating options include antiqued or polished brass, copper, nickel, black nickel, silver, and genuine gold. Dual plating is also available, allowing you to highlight certain design elements with a second contrasting finish.

What sizes and thicknesses are available?

We price coins from 1.25" to 2.25" in diameter, with 1.5", 1.75", and 2" being the most popular. Larger or custom sizes can be quoted via a Free Preview & Quote request.

Standard thickness is 3mm, but for coins 2.25" and larger, we recommend 4mm — the added weight and depth create an impressively substantial feel.

What shapes can you make?

Round coins are most common, but we can create virtually any custom shape coin as long as it fits within the size range.

What edge styles can I choose?

Choose from classic flat edges, reeded (like traditional currency), rope, diamond-cut, scalloped, petal cut, and spiral edges for added visual interest.

Custom-shaped coins often integrate unique edge treatments directly into the design.

What type of enamel fills are available?

We offer both soft and hard enamel. Both are Pantone®-matched and durable, but they create different looks:

  • Soft enamel sits recessed below the raised metal, creating a tactile, dimensional feel.
  • Hard enamel is filled level with the surrounding metal for a smooth, polished surface and a cleaner, “finished” look.

The choice is purely aesthetic — it’s personal preference as to which style you prefer.

Can you match my brand colors?

Yes, we can Pantone®-match enamel colors for logos or design elements. Metal platings themselves cannot be Pantone-matched, but choosing antiqued or polished platings can help create the right level of contrast for your design.

Customization & Artwork

Are setup fees included in the price?

Standard one-sided engraving has no setup fee. A small setup fee and per‑unit charge apply only if you choose to engrave both sides.

For reorders, there’s no setup fee at all—as long as the artwork stays the same, whether it’s on one side or both.

Can you make 3D coins?

Yes. 3D sculpting is available for portraits, landmarks, or other designs requiring depth and relief. Many coins combine 3D and enamel fills for maximum visual impact. 3D coins with colored enamel must use soft enamel.

Can I personalize each coin with different names or numbers?

We can engrave sequential numbering or serialization programmatically, but not individual names or unique custom text on each piece.

If you know you’ll need numbering, we'll recommend a small flat rectangle or pill-shaped area on the coin to make placement clean and consistent.

Can you help with my design?

Definitely! Whether you have production-ready artwork, a sketch, or just an idea, our design team will refine your design for production. Use the Free Preview & Quote form on any product page to send your artwork or ideas — we’ll create a digital proof for your approval before production begins.

How do I send you my logo or artwork?

You can upload your artwork during checkout.

Prefer to see a proof first? Click the “Free Preview & Quote” button on the product page, attach your artwork, note your quantity, and our art team will send you a proof for approval.

What kind of artwork do you need?

Vector files (AI, EPS, or PDF) are preferred for the best results. A high-resolution JPEG often works too — just send what you have, and our art team will advise.

Can I see a proof before ordering?

Yes. We’re happy to provide a free digital proof and quote before you order. Click the “Free Preview & Quote” button on the product page to upload artwork (if you have it) or simply add your text and comments.

We’ll reply within one business day—usually the same day.

Ordering & Samples

Do I need to order a minimum quantity?

Yes, the minimum bulk order quantity for our custom coins is 100 pieces. Exact minimum order quantities are shown on each product page in the pricing table.

Can I order fewer than the minimum quantity?

No, orders need to meet the listed minimums. However, samples are available for purchase if you’d like to review the product quality first.

Can I order samples first?

Yes. You can purchase existing samples on product pages to review quality, color, enamel, weight and more before placing a bulk order. If you’d like to see your own design on an actual product, we can create a spec sample of any item for an additional charge.

How long does production take?

Standard coin production time is 15 business days after you approve your proof. Larger or more complex orders may require additional time, but we’ll provide an accurate estimate during proofing. Shipping time is additional.

We ship from Ohio via FedEx, and you can choose the service that best fits your schedule—options range from Ground to faster services like 2Day and Priority Overnight.

Shipping & Payment

How are coins packaged?

Coins are individually packed in clear vinyl coin envelopes, the same type used by coin collectors, to protect against scratches during shipping.

For presentation, we offer optional velveteen pouches, acrylic coin capsules, or premium gift boxes.

Where are you located and how do you ship?

We ship from the Columbus, Ohio area via FedEx (our facility is just a few blocks from a major FedEx hub). Being centrally located in the U.S. means fast, reliable delivery nationwide.

You can choose the shipping method at checkout—options range from Ground to faster services like 2‑Day or Overnight. Transit time depends on the service you select and your location.

Do you ship outside the U.S.?

We currently ship to the U.S. and Canada only.

What payment options do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards and pre-approved signed purchase orders from corporations, government agencies, schools, universities, and hospitals.

Custom Challenge Coins | Die Struck, Made to Order

Die-Struck Coins for Recognition and Branding

Custom coins are a timeless way to honor achievements, celebrate milestones, and make an impression. Ours are die-struck from solid brass, giving each piece the weight, detail, and durability that set true challenge coins apart.

Choose from two classic styles: antiqued for bold contrast, or polished and sandblast for a clean, bright and contemporary look.

Your coin can be customized even further with base plating options, edge treatments, unique borders, or 2D and 3D reliefs. Spinning center elements add motion and dynamism, and Pantone matched enamel color fills and full color printed inserts bring logos and artwork to life. For presentation, options include fitted jewelry-style boxes, acrylic cases, velveteen pouches, or complimentary clear envelopes.

And behind every coin is our design team — BFA-trained professionals with decades of experience in custom products. We review each project with experienced eyes, ensuring balance, clarity, and visual impact.

The result is more than a coin. It’s a keepsake, a recognition piece, and a reflection of the quality your brand or organization stands for.
